Hôtel Brueghel's 1930s-styled wood-panelled lobby has charm in spades, as does the tiny, old-fashioned lift that trundles guests up to 61 quiet rooms with modern furnishings and art posters on the walls. Some south-facing rooms have sunny views of the adjacent church. It also rents two city-centre apartments.
